![]() The lockers have locks built-in, so you don’t need to bring your own. ![]() Most people like to talk about the bathrooms being a high point, and they absolutely are. There’s also a clothing shop, a barber, and a full spa…all of which cost more money, but they’re nice perks. ![]() There’s a cafe/lounge area that’s large and has a great view of Market street at the location I was at. There’s fancy walls, nice carpets, and an overall high-end vibe. You feel like you’re walking around in a 4-star hotel more than a shitty gym. Okay, that’s enough–> you get it, it’s expensive. Give me $10 for every one of my articles.and back once a month simply because you feel like it. Fly to Portland/Las Vegas/Seattle/etc.Pay an A cappella group to sing you “1st of tha Month” by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony on the 1st of every month.Have a clown make you balloon animals for an hour or so every Friday.Here’s a few other things you could do with $225 a month: You could lease a BMW 330 in San Francisco for the same monthly price…not that this would be a good investment either, but just wanted to give an example. I’m STILL clutching my pearls because of these prices. However, as it gained popularity, and people looked to use a gym membership to transcend socioeconomic status, the chain started gradually raising its rates in order to weed out plebeians.Īs of now, here is the pricing for Equinox in Northern California: To my knowledge, Equinox wasn’t that bad when it first opened up. The only issue is that it’s really hard for me to hide when I’m focusing, so I’m sure I creeped out some patrons there when they noticed this random Black fellow frantically darting his eyes all over the room.įor reference’s sake, the gym that I checked out is the Equinox Sports Club on Market Street in San Francisco. So I signed up for a 3-day trial to see the facility for myself, and made sure to pay very close attention to everything while I did so. Which is why I chose to evaluate it, obviously. This photo would only ever work on a Neo Nazi who happens to be a huge Lord of the Rings fan. The marketing is full of generic buzzwords like “luxury”, “first class, “unparalleled”, and other immeasurable terms that are used to mask the fact that it’s still a place where people sweat profusely and shower near strangers.Įquinox’s ads also feature some of the most hilariously awkward photos of beautiful people that I’ve ever seen. It’s expensive, exclusive, sleek, everyone is pretty (or rich, at least), and I’m pretty sure it won’t be giving out pizza anytime soon.Įquinox tries to justify its astronomical price by labeling itself as not just a gym, but a “way of life”. To get a clear mental image, think of Equinox as the polar opposite of Planet Fitness. …although, the phrase “luxury gym” makes about as much sense to me as “luxury DMV”, but whatever. I know that people don’t really read intros these days and instead scan the page for bold headings, so I’ll cut this part short and get right into it:Įquinox is the most popular “luxury gym” in America. So I’m going give a quick overview of Equinox for those who don’t know, and then get into my evaluation on the gym’s various aspects. Oh yeah–> my gym contract is expiring soon, so I decided to check out Equinox to see if it lives up to the hype…and the price. My laundry which valued around $300, workout gloved shorts underwear tee shirt and socks had been lost, I was offered $150 to replace in the gift shop, shorts alone were $88, no way I could replace the cloths the gym lost with the credit.This week, with the end of my current gym contract approaching, and with my life in complete disarray due to a crippling quarter-life crisis sparked by a trip back to college… As I left I mentioned all this to the desk, who said sorry and went back to talking to the others standing around behind the desk. After my shower, I grabbed a towed and it was ripped and full of holes. Used the toilet and it was out of toilet paper. I exercised then went to shower and steam, the Steam Room, in both the executive locker room and regular locker room were broken, I suspect the gyms lost a lot of members due to supporting trump so they may have been trying to save money, went to weigh my self and the scale was broken. When I arrived there were NO parking spaces, this is not the 1st time, it happens often. I joined the executive locker room, much more expensive, as they have laundry service and guarantee to park as part of the fee. I'll give an example of my day last week. ![]() As time's gone on it's gotten worse and worse. I joined over a year ago, initially, I enjoyed it very much.
